Touching Cloudbase first appeared in 1991 to wide acclaim and soon
became the standard manual for anyone starting paragliding. More than
43,000 copies have been sold worldwide since then.

This
extensively revised and expanded sixth edition includes all the latest
information on training, including a task-by-task analysis of the Pilot
Rating System. It has extensive sections on Paramotoring, Tandem
(2-person) flying, choosing equipment (including a comprehensive guide
to the certification procedures), flying in different countries and
terrain, and details on expeditions, Speed and Acro flying.

This
really is a complete guide, covering everything from the history of the
sport to innovations and the future; from what is involved in your first
day's training to flying cross-country or becoming an instructor.

The
syllabus for the British Hang-gliding and Paragliding Associations'
training programme right up to Pilot level, is covered, including a
section on how to pass your exams with sample questions. It has a
reference section packed with useful contacts and web addresses.

Ian
Currer has been involved in the sport since its arrival in Britain. He
has been a Chief Flying Instructor, an examiner of instructors, and as
coordinator of the BHPA's training panel was largely responsible for the
Pilot training system in use today.
